Muscle Man Marc from "South Park" lives on, thanks to Mark Jacobs

Muscle Man Marc and, to the right, the toy created in his image. Amen.

Don't tell my parents, but I'm a fan of "South Park."

Having grown up Southern Baptist, I kinda feel guilty whenever I watch the show -- especially when Jesus is on there. I especially felt guilty typing that sentence.

Anyhoo, I'm also a fan of superstar fashion designer Marc Jacobs. So imagine my delight, s'il vous plait, to hear that Muscle Man Marc, who was Eric Cartman's star-tattooed toy from last season's "1%" episode, has been resurrected by Jacobs -- in whose likeness Muscle Man Marc was fashioned. So it's rather fitting, Nescafe?

Check out Marc Jacobs' web site for the limited-edition doll itself, which is 12-inches tall and $125.

And for the patient souls who actually read this whole thing and STILL have no clue what the heck I'm talking about, click here to see the "South Park" episode in which Muscle Man Marc met his untimely demise at the hands of Polly Prissypants.

Peace, love and Nescafe ... XOXO

While other kids were watching "The Smurfs," Scene Writer Jason Ashley Wright was tuned in to "Style with Elsa Klensch." By fourth grade, he knew he wanted to write, and spent almost three years publishing a weekly teen-oriented magazine, Teen-Zine -- circulation: 2. After earning a degree in journalism from the University of Southern Mississippi, he became the medical reporter and teen board coordinator for the Hattiesburg (Miss.) American, a Gannett newspaper. Eight months later, with visions of Elsa dancing in his head, he applied for the fashion writer position at the Tulsa World, where he began working on Aug. 3, 1998. He is now a general assignment reporter for Scene.
